Sometimes I wish people would just insult me, flat-out.
Not tiptoeing around their comments and weaving them
into looks and gestures
Sometimes I wish I could scream,
“Just tell me you don’t like me”
Instead of nodding my head and smiling
as they compliment every single other person in the room
Except for me
Sometimes I wish they could say this mean thing straight to my face instead of twisting it
into a nice-seeming comment that is rooted in displeasure
Sometimes I wish I had the courage to ask, “Would you like me to leave you alone or would you rather we continue pretending
to be each other’s friends?”
Sometimes I wish life was that simple.
